"I Got You (I Feel Good)" is a song by the American singer and songwriter #JamesBrown. First recorded for the 1964 album #OutOfSight and then released in an alternate take as a single in 1965 and included on the compilation album of the same name, it was his highest-charting song on the US #Billboard Hot 100 and is arguably his best-known recording. In 2013, the 1965 recording was inducted into the #GrammyHallOfFame.

#OutOfSight (1998)
A career bank robber breaks out of jail, and shares a moment of mutual attraction with a U.S. Marshal he has kidnapped.
#GeorgeClooney #JenniferLopez #VingRhames

I recently read a couple of Elmore Leonard crime novels -- "Riding the Rap" and "Out of Sight".

I don't read that much contemporary fiction, nor do I have a deep background in crime fiction as a genre, so you'll have to make do with the remarks of a relatively ill informed reader.

I can see why Leonard is a both popular and respected writer. He knows how to structure a gripping narrative, and his dialogue rings true.

On a more critical note, I can imagine these two novels providing future students of US culture with material for a study of the anxieties and aspirations of middle class white men in an America seemingly riven with disorder.

In "Riding the Rap", Leonard's background as a writer of westerns comes across; the US marshal protagonist brings order to a lawless frontier by acting on his own initiative rather than a mere agent of a federal bureaucracy. Here though, the frontier is no longer in the west, but in Florida, and the threatening nonwhite others are no longer American Indians but a Puerto Rican hitman and a Black Bahamian immigrant who, as part of his assimilation to Black America, adopted an Islamic name.

Leonard's depiction of racial attitudes intersects with his representation of socioeconomic class distinctions. The two nonwhite criminals act for a while as henchmen to a drink and drug addled wealthy white playboy, whose kidnapping plan drives the plot forward. His exploitation of his senile mother's wealth and the revelation of her ugly racist attitudes point to the class and status tensions that exist between a decadent white upper class and the Appalachian coalmining heritage of the US marshal protagonist.

These racial and white populist themes recur in "Out of Sight", where middle aged, middle class, white bank robbers are contrasted with African American home invaders, the latter being characterized by their cruelty, treachery, idleness, lust, and greed.

In both novels the middle aged male protagonist beds a much younger female character; some readers might find these glimpses of the fantasy life of ageing men unintentionally ludicrous.

I think I'll reserve final judgment on Leonard until I've read another of his books. "Swag" is supposed to be good, but neither my local second bookstore nor my libraries have it available at the moment, and I don't want to pay full price for it.

Finished Out of Sight today.
Thnk Perception x Among the Sleep and you're eerily close.

Why do I keep playing horror games with child protagonists? I don't know, but I do.

It's a good game, all in all, tainted by three things:
- Devs have "Can't see shit" confused with "scary". I need to crank the gamma to the max and still squint to see anything.
- Two scenes where you need to run away from death, keep track where you are dragged, aim at a tiny object with the right stick WHILE RUNNING and then start holding the right stick button. I died a lot.
- One level where you need to activate something and IMMEDIATELY hide with no clue where. I dead a lot, again.

Ignoring these, you get a good, creepy story, a mansion to go through ('level" based, no free roaming luckily), puzzles that aren't mindbendingly complicated, secrets to find, and a game that you can finish in 2-3 hours, which is great in my book.

8/10, would recommend.

#OutOfSight

I hate it when game devs confuse "can't see shit" with "scary atmosphere".
I need to crank up the gamma on Out of Sight to the max to see anything and it just makes the game tedious, not scary.

#OutOfSight

Me: Oh, look, a scary game where you need to escape some horror setting as a little child.

Also me: WHY?!

The #G7 is happening in Kananaskis, Alberta this coming week. Most of the dignitaries and journos are staying in Calgary. The city/police have set up three designated and controlled protest zones, but the powerful people and media aren’t staying anywhere near those zones - they are booking out the hotels on 9th Ave and near Prince’s Island Park - and their route to KCountry is far away from any protest zone. #outofsight #politics #protest #Canada
